Interior Environments

Elle Decor April 2007

This room is the perfect example of indoor/outdoor space. I would classify it as an interior room that lacks walls. It breaks the barrier that divides two rooms. There are certain benefits with this kind of space. The room uses natural light most of the day and, given the location, the space needs little air conditioning or heating. I would love to have an interior environment like this one. It looks so peaceful and one with nature. The furniture is minimum and monochromatic, allowing the main attention to be focused on the breathtaking views.

I would love the Cafeteria at UNC Greensboro to look like this. The floor to ceiling window stretches the length of the space, opening it out to the view beyond. The tables, in turn break apart the size and provide space to eat a meal or. The unfinished ceilings give the space a loft feel, and the height gives the allusion of a larger, more open room.

This space alone is impressive enough. The multiple open stories and the oversize windows create a large, lofty space. Now, add in the beehive-octagonal structure and it makes for such an entertaining conference room. The first characteristic that stands out, apart from the shape and pattern, is the color. The orange-yellow pops in its surrounding. The color illuminates from behind as the light penetrates it.
The designer took the idea of a conventional room divider and turned it into a functional work of art, providing shelving units within the structure. I commend the design for being multipurpose.

This particular environment clearly suggests calm and relaxation. The bathroom has a strong Zen feel. The lines of the bathroom itself are relatively simple, that is, except for the tub. the tub is the focal point with it's soft curves and starkness in contrast to the space surrounding it.
There are no window treatments on the windows, however the garden beyond has a private feel as well as relaxing feel, proving the simple task of taking a bath to be a luxurious experience.

Southern Accents July/August 2007

Words cannot describe how much I dislike this interior environment! The first negative opinion regards the wallpaper. Wallpaper can a hit or miss concept and it is clear that this design proved to be the latter of the two. Moving past the walls, the accent color strikes the eye immediately. The color of yellow is incorporated into every aspect of this space, not in a positive way. It overpowers the room by itself and combined with the walls, it makes the room appear smaller and clustered.

Dwell December/Jan

This is not the traditional environment, rather an exhibit in a museum that acts as one. This hallway in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Design doubles both as an interior and a piece of art. The space is beautifully crafted, even though it might leave the viewer disoriented. The colors are vivid and contrasting as the light filters through them. The colors are vivid and the shapes are intricate, not only due to the material selection, but also because it is surrounded by smooth and stark white walls. The pattern of the shapes give the hallway an exaggerated perspective.

Architectural Digest Oct 2007

Bart Prince created and interior living space arranged around a tiled pool running the length of the particular space. When I found this interior, I could not help but be reminded of tree houses and the Swiss Family Robinson. Prince has made the line between outdoor and indoor space very thin; the concepts found in the space are nice tributes to nature, from the foliage, to the surplus of wood, to the lack of window treatments. Though maybe not my particular style, I enjoy looking at this piece. The wood is detailed and beautiful, and the mosaic pool is stunning.

Antoine Predock Architectural Digest October 2007
Antoine Predock has used a combination of wood, glass, and metal to create a home full of abstract interpretations of homes surroundings: the Rocky Mountains. The room slopes downward to a full walled window. The beautifully crafted staircase leads from the first floor to the second. The steel and glass catwalk connects the first level, while allowing light to come through ever part of the window. The space remains bright dues to the amount of windows and light wood throughout.

Robert A. M Stern Architectural Digest Oct 2007
What a peaceful retreat! The octagonal room designed by Robert A. M. Stern provides 180-degree views of the lake. The room is entirely made out of Douglass fir and the ceiling forms a cylinder. The room offers plenty of storage with built in bookshelves underneath the windows. Accents compliment the Design of the Space such as the wood des and the carpet that imitates the ceiling above. This room would be wonderful for reading a good book or watching the wildlife pass by.

Veranda Sep/ Oct 2006
This Foyer is fit for Royalty. The focal point is the Gowan ornamented iron banister. If looked at carefully, the glass in the banister is the same color as the walls. Tiles lead into the other rooms and the area has sparse, but ornaments furniture. The window above allows or natural light.
